Welcome

Welcome to my blog http://www.skegley.blogspot.com/ . CAVEAT LECTOR- Let the reader beware. This is a Christian Conservative blog. It is not meant to offend anyone. Please feel free to ignore this blog, but also feel free to browse and comment on my posts! You may also scroll down to respond to any post.

For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Subject: FW: "I THOUGHT I HEARD A TWIG SNAP"

Just Outside Soldotna , Alaska .
King season is over, and since I had a day off before silvers start, I thoughtI would go for a walk! This occurred at 11:16 am this morning (Sunday), just2/10 of a mile from my house.ON OUR ROAD while walking my dogs (ironically trying to get in shape for hunting season!) for the record. This is in a residential area-not back in the woods. No bow hunting. No stealth occurring.

I heard a twig snap. And looked back. Full on charge-a huge brownie, ears back,head low and motorin' full speed! Came with zero warning; no Woof, no popping of the teeth, no standing up, nothing like what you think or see on TV! It charged from less than 20 yards and was on me in about one-second! Totally surreal.I just started shooting in the general direction. And praise God that my second shot (or was it my third?) rolled him at 5 feet and he skidded to a stop 10 feetBEYOND where I was shooting from. I actually sidestepped him and fell overbackwards on the last shot. And his momentum carried him to a stop past whereI fired my first shot!
It was a prehistoric old boar. No teeth. No fat. Weighed between 900-1000 lbs and took five men to DRAG it onto a tilt-bed trailer! Big bear. Its paw measured out at about a 9-1/2 inches!Never-ever-thought 'it' would happen to me! It's always some other Schmuck..... Right?
Well, no bull. I am still high on adrenaline. With my gut in a Knot (felt like I did10000 crunches without stopping)! Almost puked for an hour after. Had the burps and couldn't even stand up as the troopers conducted their investigation!Totally wiped me out. Can't even put that feeling into words.By far the most emotion I have ever felt at once!
No doubt that God was with me, as I brought my Ruger .454 Casull (and some"hot" 350 grain solids) just for the heck of it. And managed to draw and snap shoot (pointed, never even aimed!) from the hip! Total luck shot!All I can say is Praise God for my safety and for choosing to leave the wife and kids at home on this walk!
Now if anyone starts making noises about taking away your right to protect yourself with a gun, we need to let them know where we stand.
You just never know when a gun can save your life - don't leave home without it....
